Will catch up with you all eventually. Went grocery shopping today - all healthy. Still very tired and haven't yet unpacked.
Not going near the scale for a couple of weeks. I see the change in the shape of my body. Not nearly as toned and firm as it was when I left on trip. 
I got on my sister's scale and it didn't increase by much. Sister suggested I'd lost muscle which was true. Doesn't take long does it!? We did a lot of walking but that just isn't enough. The first week I was there I did a really good workout at my son's gym using weights and then cardio. Once. Most clothes are now too tight.
Ugandan daughter has invited herself and her boss to come visit next week for 3 days. Challenge.
Confessing some of the things I ate/drank: lobster, Mexican food, lots of Panera bagels, Chinese, steaks, 5 Guys Burgers, pizza 4 or 5 times, LOTS of different kinds of beers. Some wine.

I'm back. Hope you all are doing well! 
I was away in the US for 5 weeks and my intentions were to post here every day. Obviously never happened. Usually I was just too busy, but I should have checked in weekly. Anyway, I was NOT good. I enjoyed myself very much but I'll be paying for it now. I only got in one good gym and serious muscle workout so my muscles feel like they have dissolved. No point in getting on the scale as I've lost muscle and gained fat, so it won't be an accurate reflection.
Just arrived today, so tomorrow it's grocery shopping, calories and workouts.
Umpqua and Thinkpositive, we did make it to Mystic Seaport and loved it! No chance to meet up with anyone as we didn't realize we actually needed two days to properly see the Seaport and the area.
Progress as of today: 29.6 lbs lost so far, only 5.4 lbs to go!
Final weight before trip 137.4.
In hotel tonight. Early flight tomorrow. Lots of walking today around Glasgow as it was a gorgeous day.
B: porridge, yogurt S: bacon roll Late lunch: baked potato and cheese and salad, 1/2 pint beer S: pint beer and 1/2 packet crisps D: steak, chips, peas, mushrooms, tomatoes, pint beer

Thanks for all your trip wishes!

Exercise: serious housework!
Progress as of today: 30 lbs lost so far, only 5 lbs to go!
For me, it used to be right around 125 that made me feel super...but now I weight 126...but I've lost a lot of muscle in my legs over the past 2.5yrs so I look bigger at my bottom half...i realize i'll just have to deal with it :) and work with what I have right now. :)
anyways, take lots of pictures and I can't wait to hear about your time in the...US right?...with your family.
120 lbs are age 40 was perfect.
Scale still creeping downward. Running out of time though. Leaving Sunday so won't be hitting 132.

Full workouts today and I'm finished till my trip.
Workout at gym:
Workout at home (upper):
Workout at home (lower): figured my calves, thighs and butt got enough of a workout this week that I did 2 sets instead of 3 on those targeting those area.
Scale still creeping downward. If I kept up all this activity and low calories for much longer I'd collapse from exhaustion! That's 3 bike rides, 4 days at the gym, home muscle workouts, one more day tomorrow and that's it till my trip. I was really pouring the sweat today with my cardio workout at the gym. No muscle work today but will do all of it after the gym tomorrow. Need to wash and pack a gym outfit.
I'm trying to figure out how to keep myself motivated while I'm away. Usually on holidays I'll be good for a short time and then I'll think f*** it, I want to enjoy myself and eat and drink whatever I like. Result: big weight gain. Maybe try to remind myself of how hard I've worked and what happened when I slipped up.

Workout at gym: really intense!
Lost a wee bit more! I might just make it to 137 before I go! That's the weight where I start to feel good - I can feel that my waist is getting small at that weight. We expect our friends to invite us to dinner before we go but we'll just have to tell them no thanks.

About to go on same bike ride as yesterday: 15.5 miles with many 20% gradient hills.
Workout at home (lower): don't think I need to do the leg and butt workout since I'm getting a great leg workout today!
Scale is the same. Lovely day here. Sunshine again! Might have to get out on my bike.

Hi all! I guess it was fluid that caused the blip on the scale. If I could just get to 137 by next Sunday I'd be happy, but normally during a good week I lose 2 lbs.
Today I rode my bike to the supermarket in town to pick up a few items (out of fruit). Nice ride even though I'm on a few busy roads. And the sun is shining! It's nearly 20 miles roundtrip.
Stuck to calories yesterday and even did extra sets with my muscle workouts. No alcohol, no sugar until I leave on my trip.

Welcome back! I'm sure you'll get back into a good eating routine. With all of your walking and sightseeing maybe the number won't be too bad. Good idea to wait to get on the scale!
Thanks! My clothes tell me exactly what I've done. But I enjoyed myself!
